Shelby, Cut Bank and Conrad

Why Shelby, Cut Bank and Conrad patients choose video.

This is the western edge of the Golden Triangle: wheat and barley ground under the Rocky Mountain Front, oil wells around Cut Bank, Kevin and Sunburst, and Interstate 15 running north past Conrad and Shelby to the Canadian border. Cut Bank's giant penguin statue makes the town's case as the coldest spot in the nation, and the winters back it up. Farm families, truckers and oil workers live here, an hour or more from Great Falls. Neck and back pain, sciatica, bladder leaking and prolapse bring many people here to book.

One-on-one with Dr. Elana Shalem, PT, DPT (CAPP-OB), licensed in Montana: a 60-minute evaluation, then 45-minute follow-ups.
